The Lost Records of Yue
The rivalry of Wu and Yue is one of the great revenge stories of ancient China: King Goujian of Yue, defeated and humiliated, sleeps on brushwood and tastes gall for years until he destroys King Fuchai of Wu. The Lost Records of Yue is the oldest book devoted to the two southern kingdoms, an Eastern Han compilation of inner and outer traditions that mixes chronicle with local geography, strategy and economics. It tells of Wu Zixu fleeing to Wu, the advisers Fan Li and Wen Zhong, the beauty Xi Shi, famous swords and their smiths, and the cities, canals and grave mounds of the region around modern Suzhou and Shaoxing. This complete new English translation gives all the surviving chapters, a vivid companion to the Spring and Autumn of Wu and Yue.
